I was down on my luck

And deep in my sin, in my sin, in my sin

Ain't know which way was up

Feelin' disgusting, rusty

One to the head

I was thinkin' now I'm about to give up

I know I'm a little different than you like

Done a little more dirt than you have in your life

And you see these tattoos like war wounds

Probably scare you just a little and it's safe to assume

That I haven't always been good and done right

Got a wild side, see it lookin' deep in my eyes

Through blood, sweat and tears barely clingin' to life

Sinkin' deep in my sorrow, suicidal lullaby

Still ringin' in my head, lookin' up to the sky

Thinkin' if Lord hear my prayer, it's gon' be aight

Cause you made for more than this and that, I believe

Just feel like I've been hidden like a wave open sea

Down out then, but now I'll be up and 'bout it

Obstacles in the way, I found my way around 'em

Pray for brighter days after livin' crazy nights

Makin' plays, howlin' at the Moon, I live a crazy life

On a highway of destruction so I switched directions

Haunted by some bad decisions so I made corrections

Haunted by the enemy so I made preparation

If they get me got some extra funds up in the family safe

So I know my family straight, took the time to stack the paper

So I know my kids and even grand kids got a plate

Life's a vapor, death and taxes be two things we can't escape

Know that when it's time for those that you gon' have to make a payment
